This is truly a showstopper hat from the 1940s' depicting the high fashion looks of the era. The hat consists of a short crown which has a small round opening at the top edged in a black velvety fabric. This narrow velvety band extends to both sides of the crown and ends in a bow. The large wide brim is also edged in the velvety material and it folds upwards on one side, posing the cap that is part of the crown. (Please see photos).On the other side of the bows there is a black ostrich feather to finish this elaborate look.
The wartime 40’s saw a huge variety of hats that were suitable for any face shape, hairstyle or personal preference. Throughout the war and on both sides of the Atlantic, elaborate creations brightened dreary utility fashions, brought about by rationing. The only items not rationed were hat materials. Explosions of feathers, veiling and artificial flowers were popular.
